Thirty-five children were evaluated at a mean of 2 years, 3 months following treatment of supracondylar fractures of the humerus. Elbow motion, clinical carrying angle, and roentgenographic measurements including Baumann's angle, humeral-ulnar angle, and metaphyseal-diaphyseal angle were determined for both the normal and the involved extremities. The humeral-ulnar angle best correlated with the final clinical carrying angle, followed by Baumann's angle and the metaphyseal-diaphyseal angle. We recommend postreduction measurement of the humeral-ulnar angle in fractures that have been surgically stabilized and Baumann's angle in those fractures treated by cast immobilization alone to determine the adequacy of reduction.

From Traditional to Cutting-Edge: Transforming Pulmonary Valve Assessment With Advanced Echocardiography Techniques.
Echocardiography
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, German Heart Center Charité, Berlin, Germany.
The pulmonary valve (PV), although often less emphasized than other heart valves, is crucial for cardiac function and hemodynamics. Historically, the PV has been underrepresented in echocardiographic assessments due to its rare involvement in pathological conditions, particularly in adults. Additionally, the anatomical position of the PV makes it one of the most challenging valves to visualize using conventional echocardiography.

The ability to characterize periodic nanostructures in the laboratory gains more attention as nanotechnology is widely utilized in a variety of application fields. Scanning-free grazing-emission X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (GEXRF) is a promising candidate to allow non-destructive, element-sensitive characterization of sample structures down to the nanometer range for process engineering. Adopting a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) detector to work energy-dispersively single-photon detection, the whole range of emission angles of interest can be recorded at once.

In the pursuit of sustainable engineering solutions, material selection is increasingly directed toward resources that offer functional efficacy, economic feasibility, and minimal environmental impact. To replace environmentally damaging materials like aluminum with more sustainable alternatives like wood-based materials, it is essential to improve the durability and longevity of wood. This study explores the potential suitability of modified veneers as an outer protective layer for unmodified wooden load-bearing elements, providing a cost-effective and resource-efficient alternative to bulk modification.

November 2024
Department of Biomedical Sciences, Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, Ohio University, Athens, OH, United States.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic alcohol-related myopathy (CAM) is a condition that results in muscle weakness and atrophy due to long-term excessive alcohol consumption.
- The mechanisms behind how alcohol causes muscle loss are not fully understood, but this article explores how changes in lipid profiles may play a significant role.
- The authors review existing studies on lipid changes in individuals with CAM and suggest that disrupted lipid regulation could be a key factor in the muscle wasting linked to alcohol use, proposing new directions for research and treatment.
Closed reduction with percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation for delayed treatment of distal humeral epiphyseal fracture separation.

Department of Orthopedics, Fuzhou Second General Hospital, Fuzhou, P.R. China.
Background: Fracture separation of the distal humeral epiphysis in children is a relatively uncommon injury, predominantly occurring in children under 3 years. It has a high risk of treatment delays. This study aims to evaluate outcomes in the management of fracture separation of the distal humeral epiphysis treated seven or more days post-initial injury.
